a manifesto for another architecture of collision.

a manifesto for the latest architecture.


the condition of instability present in the site is extremely encouraging.

far from the coast, this undesirable attractor will condense urban dubai in a unique hot spot of improvised cultural proximity. a suspension of moral/political conjectures is required.

the partial instability of the structure is a tangible condition of a Vision that is potentially fading away.

the tendency of this dense hot spot is to differentiate itself, to manipulate its own social genome by intervening topically on the morphology of the space.

the accuracy of the system is the principal detectable value. The robots are in fact programmed.

no product is on sale there, what is offered is a journey in a urbanized bedroom. trough a dangerous, wild, non domesticated nature.

topological accidents are the rule. A negotiations between mathematical expectations and multiple unpredictabilities.

An attractor of actualized chemical imprecision.


Banal Considerations on Dubai

Dubai seems to be always on the edge of performing an endless ethos of the world's largest, better, biggest, hardest, fastest, stronger, taller, wider, deeper.


- the tallest tower: an insult to God in cheap materials is the best incarnation of the excitement that the immediateness from the idea trough the money trough the fiscal can provoke.

-if its story is mediocre -fishermans no particular commitment for religion, no particular natural beauty- its future should trigger the unique the one and only.

the one and only turns out to be not so appealing.It's the genuine vision of a fisherman.An authentic dream of wealth and commodity.

its market economy, largely based on real estate and tourism is a repetitive promise for something better(harderfasterbetterstronger), money pays. The 3rd business after tourism and construction is the renderings industry. the real estates business and the related tourism industry relies almost entirely on this spotlights of visionary real beauty.

-finally it is possible to order a cuba libre in a SkyBar.

From la mecca, a modest thus incredibly powerful black cubic house to all the possible fancy shapes. This can be very disappointing for a snob.

it happens that a city has been built starting from the highways : this is true ambition."they will come". Something like a controphobic reaction to the stomaching shame of poverty.

at the same time an enterprise, a state of an islamic federation, and a tourist destination. the three not perfectly working together : home made State.

ones can clearly realize that western shops are the real democratizing apparatuses. eat a croque monsieur: real freedom.

playfulness and enjoyment without any sense of guilty: this is how freedom should look like, advertisements make reality.

dubai is beautiful: basic desires turned into a system.


ideas from a rooftop bar.:

some guidelines to be Cool

we agree italy is boring, and the colosseum a symbol of decay, turn monuments into shopping malls is the solution (revolution always pass trough banality).

what lacks in the City is the performance and the engagement with the User.
